Toucans - Year 6 2023 - 2024
Miss Cowie
Welcome to Toucans
Welcome to Toucans and our class page.
It really feels as if Spring is on the way and I hope that the better weather and some sunshine are just around the corner. The second half of this term is very short but we have lots to cover and lots to look forward to.
Here is a brief overview of the areas of learning that we will be focusing on during this next this half term.
As always, please ensure that your child brings in the correct P.E. kit and trainers every Monday morning and that it stays in school for the week. During the Spring term, it is advisable that children continue to bring warm tracksuit joggers and a zip-up hoodie or jumper (different to their uniform jumper). Please make sure that your child has the correct school P.E. kit and that it is labelled clearly, so lost items can be returned to their rightful owner. Please also provide a water bottle and waterproof coat for your child every day as we never know what the weather might do!
Toucans will continue to be taught by Mrs Austin on a Friday morning.
Homework will be set each Friday afternoon, to be handed in the following Wednesday. This term, this will be mainly using the revision guides that we will share with you at the SATs parents meeting on Tuesday 27th February. I will message parents each Friday so that you are clear on what the expectations are for that week. Please support your child with completing their homework and handing it in on time as this both supports their learning and prepares them for what is to come at high school.
Daily reading is essential for all children and in Upper KS2 and we advise that you read for 15-20 minutes per day with your child, no matter their proficiency level. Whilst listening to your child, try to ask them questions about events that have happened so far, characters thoughts and motives and to make accurate predictions and inferences based on the text as well as the meanings of words within it.
To keep up to date with what is happening in our class, make sure you regularly check our school's Twitter/X feed.
Should you have any further queries, please feel free to contact me using the email address below. I look forward to seeing you at our upcoming Parents' Evenings in November.
Kind Regards,
Miss Cowie
